Hi! Anyone have recommendations for fun line dancing lessons? I know there are a lot of great bars that offer lessons for free, but I'm coming with a group of 8 total and I want to be able to book spots ahead of time so we're not showing up day-of hoping there's space. Any tips?

I'm looking at estate venues under an hour drive outside of Boston for an outdoor wedding (during peak season, hopefully May/June). At this point I don't want to compromise on a non-Saturday date, which I know ups the budget significantly.

But everywhere I've inquired about pricing or seen it online, it seems like for the venue, catering, and open bar (again, I know that's a non-insignificant expense) - it's all upwards for $35K-45K. And then you have to think about photographer, DJ, dress, etc.

Is it even possible to find an estate venue and catering less than an hour from Boston for under $30K all-in? Or is this just a case of me having to compromise either on day of week (no), month, open bar, and/or everything else? (Or just being ok with paying $50K+ for my wedding)

If it would be helpful for me to lay out my expected/hopeful budget to see whether that's even remotely accurate, I can add that

I’ve thought for a while that I want to do my own wedding makeup - I want to look like me, I’m particular about my look, and I want a very light touch with makeup. Seems like a good place to save on a big chunk of money considering that

My only thought is that I do want to splurge on a good photographer (documentary style, if that matters), and I wonder if I’ll regret doing my own makeup if it doesn’t look flawless in my very expensive photos (at my (probably very expensive event)

Anyone have experience or advice here?
